Hi! Today’s post will be about my first Pullip doll. Since I love Evangelion I decided to get the Ayanami Rei Pullip that was released at February 2008. I bought mine at January 2012! ← Yes, I know, I should have posted this before :P

First I'll show you the pictures of the unboxing procedure and then the review of the doll. Let's begin!

:: UNBOXING ::

The box was perfectly wrapped and the doll arrived safely home! (~~By the way, soon I'll make a review of the store where I got this Pullip and the ones that are on its way to join my little Rei~~ Here's the shop review).

Even the box design is very pretty! At the back of it we can see this cool Gainax hologram. I was pretty excited at the moment I had the box in my hands ♥.

Once we get the inner box out, we can see all the items that come with the doll. Since I didn't want to damage the original box I untied the doll and accessories carefully.

The picture above shows all the accessories included within the box:

:: REVIEW [9/10] ::

I'll give this Pullip a score of 9 out of 10. Why? You may ask... First let's start the review from head to toes :P

When we get the doll out of the box it comes with a 'weird' hair style but, when we remove the plastic wrap we only need to comb each section inwards and the fringes down to give it the unique Rei's hairstyle. Since this is my first Pullip I have no comparison point but I loved her hair; it's easy to comb and the color is pretty and bright.

This Pullip has a type 3 body, and the eye mechanism that allows the eyes to stay closed and move side to side. The color of her eyes is amazing; it even sparks at the sunlight. A very bright red color.

Moving on with the clothes; the whole school uniform outfit is perfect! I loved it! My Rei is currently using her school uniform ♥. Now, from the plugsuit outfit is where I subtracted 1 point. The armor, shoes, lance, clips, etc. everything's perfect! BUT the one-piece suit material gets damaged with time. Mine was protected on its plastic wrap inside the box and it started to peel off after I only used it three times on my doll ;;

Overall Ayanami Rei is a great Pullip doll which I recommend to buy if you like Pullip dolls, and I recommend it even more if you are a fan of Evangelion! I don’t regret buying this doll at all ♥.
